McCreery, Perry, and Paisley :)

And that is how far away I stood from Brad Paisley.

It was quite an exciting night.

I went up to the concert with the sole intent on seeing Scotty McCreery. Which I did and nearly cried when he sang "The Trouble With Girls." It was Scotty McCreery, The Band Perry, and Brad Paisley. The whole night was amazing. Yes, Scotty is freaking awesome and I am in love with him, but he was the start to an absolutely amazing night.

We got to the venue right as the lights went down and the announcer said Scotty was coming on stage. He sang all of the songs that I hoped he would. "The Trouble With Girls," "I Love You This Big," "Write My Number On Your Hand," and "Dirty Dishes."

I love you this big!

Then the Band Perry came out and did a few numbers. OK, so they did an amazing job. They sang for quite a while and did more than what I was expecting. I know about two Band Perry songs like the back of my hand so when they belted out the lyrics "Are you gonna' take me home tonight? Oh, down by that red firelight" I was like this is my kind of band. Then they went on to do "Free Fallin'" and the chorous of "Love the Way You Lie." Oh yeah, they also did "If I Die Young," "You Lie," "All Your Life," and "Independence." They were good.

After a while of waiting, the lights went down, and this light show started. Concerts always have light shows, and pretty good ones at that, but this light show kicked some major patootedy. Brad Paisley started off by singing "Camoflauge," an ode to exactly what the title says. Words can't even describe how good the show was. Brad Paisley is unbelieveable. He just doesn't stop. Most people have the lights go down and then they're done, but no. Brad Paisley kept going. With every guitar solo, every heartfelt song, with every smart-aleck quip, the show kept going. Some people are good at playing guitar, others are great, but some are guitar gods. Brad Paisley is a guitar god. If you've heard any of his songs, you've probably heard that amazing guitar work, but it just doesn't compare to hearing it live. As my friends and I were talking afterward, he has the perfect balance of hilarious songs, heartfelt songs, and perfect songs. He did all of his hits and all of them were performed brilliantly. He sand "Online" with Scotty and "Whiskey Lullaby" with The Band Perry. There was even a freaky-life-like video of Carrie Underwood when he sang "Remind Me." Then during "Then" he came out into the audience to this mini-stage next to where I was sitting. There he finished singing "Then"(with an amazing guitar solo) and did "Letter To Me." So amazing.

If you ever get the chance to see Brad Paisley in concert, take it. Don't think about it, just do it.
